Documentation of progress.
Time lapse videos are an exceptionally valuable tool for project management and monitoring. Once a video is created, project managers, stakeholders, and clients can archive the video. This feature can serve as an alternative to the traditional paper records used to document construction progress. With well edited videos, each stage of the construction process can be tracked, making salient any milestones on site. By archiving your time lapse videos, companies can refer to any strategies that were used on a previous project that they may want to replicate for an upcoming job.

Marketing campaigns.
Time lapse videos are also a great way to market your business. By creating short form videos that capture the entire construction process you can highlight the effort that your company puts into each and every job you take on. Moreover, having a portfolio of the time lapse videos of multiple projects your company has participated in may be attractive to potential customers.

Social media.
Statistics suggest that social media accounts that attach videos to their posts are more likely to reach a larger audience and receive more engagement; attaching a time lapse video to your social media posts may assist your business in reaching more customers online and expanding that side of your business.

Local community engagement.
Tensions can often arise between local community members and construction companies. Publishing time lapse videos online and sharing videos of the work that is taking place with local community members may facilitate communication between the two parties and reduce any tensions that may arise. Construction can often illicit frustration in community members due to loud noises and increased traffic, however communities that are able to see tangible progress occurring at your construction site may be more willing to put up with the necessary frustrations that naturally accompany construction.
